THE BLACKFACE MEAT COMPANY.
The Blackface Meat Company believes passionately in the link between a healthy landscape and the highest quality meat. The two are so closely bound that the flavour of our products is of the land itself: the heather and the berries; the wild grasses and fresh waters of the burns found in the most beautiful, unspoilt regions of Britain.
Blackface sheep and Galloway cattle are reared on a heather clad hill farm in the South West of Scotland. We supply a wide range of high quality, oven-ready game from selected Scottish estates and we also source finest quality Scottish Pork and Christmas turkeys from nearby suppliers. This is the lamb, mutton, game and beef enjoyed by our ancestors, now available all over the UK via our efficient home delivery service.
We specialise in slow-growing, traditional breeds that enjoy a life outdoors, free-range on Scotland’s hills. We are one of the few British online farm shops to supply tender, flavoursome, three year old ‘aged’ Galloway beef and Scottish Blackface mutton, reared for up to five years.
FEED
We believe that meat from animals fed on a natural diet will be as tender as it is richly aromatic and savoury. Slow growth on a diet of grasses and wild plants also reduces shrinkage in the pan during cooking, offering better value for money.
HEALTH
We know that the health of our animals benefits from a life enjoyed outdoors in clean air, with access to a wide diversity of plants and natural spring water. Stress is also kept to an absolute minimum, with no-over crowding and a short journey to our local abattoir. We also believe that healthy animals produce meat that is good for you – a recent study reported higher levels of nutritious Omega 3 fatty acids in slow grown, naturally fed mutton.
SOURCE
We insist on traceability. We breed and rear our own beef, mutton and lamb; our game is sourced from selected Scottish estates, all well known to us, so we know the provenance of every grouse, pheasant and deer. Aside from our own farm produce we source our pork and bronze turkeys from trusted local suppliers.
THE CUT
Our meat is properly matured in the traditional way; hung at a controlled temperature to develop tenderness and flavour. We can butcher to your exact requirements, at no extra charge. Game is sent out plucked and dressed, ready for the oven. Full cooking instructions and recipes are available on our website or contact us for printed recipes.
THE SERVICE
Use our secure online ordering service, or telephone us on 01387 730326. We pack and send out our meat fresh, ready for your oven or freezer. We despatch our goods vacuum packed in insulated boxes with ice-gel packs to keep the meat cool.
YOU
We perceive you, our customers, as a community of likeminded people who enthusiastically share an enjoyment of the very best, seasonal food. We welcome your feedback, including recipes to post on our website. We are delighted to be a preferred supplier to many top chefs who care passionately about the quality of the meat they buy. They are very particular, so we know this means our meat is delicious.

Tonight we had a half leg of your quality lamb, incised with rosemary, garlic and covered in salt, pepper, olive oil(because it is so lean) and mixed spice, oh what heaven. The lamb cooked at 180c middle shelf for 1hr 10 mins (it weighed in at 1kg) pink in the middle and melt in your mouth. No supermarket stuff comes anywhere near this flavour and quality. I know as an ex Savoy Hotel chef. Thanks for your taste exciters. AF

Melt in the mouth lamb

Just want to say how absolutely delicious the turkey we got from you at Christmas was. We always have a quality organic one – but we have never had one as tasty and tender as the one we got from you. Well worth the money….M McC

Tasty

I have recently tried both the 5 year old Blackface Mutton and the Compact Galloway Beef Box.

Both were superb.

We cooked a mutton joint using the competition recipe and it was extremely tender and the flavour simply awesome.

Six of us sat down to celebrate Burns night and fortunately there was just enough left over from three haggis to have some as a cold lunch for me the following day; it was just as good cold as hot, plus the whisky didn™t evaporate!

Next to try are the six pheasants which I also ordered.

As a first time buyer of the Blackface Meat Company it was a very good first experience. B SC

Haggis

I just wanted to say thank you for the meat you sent us which made our Christmas perfect. The venison striploin, which we cooked with a port and redcurrant sauce and caramelised pears on Christmas Eve, was out of this world and our turkey was the best any of us had ever eaten. All delivered on time in atrocious weather conditions!E T

Out of this world

I just wanted to let you know how wonderful our saddle of venison was on Christmas Day – the meat was succulent and full of flavour and we have a piece left over for another day!
We are also very impressed by your delivery service and look forward to placing further orders with you.
Thank you so much.

Saddle

I meant to write before to say how delicious the beef (and grouse) were. The fillet steaks were seriously good and thank you for the extra joint. It™s all disappearing much faster than I expected, including the chopped beef which is excellent. A big change from supermarket produce. Thank you very much indeed.
